it comes a day after democratic senator dianne feinstein of california introduced new legislation that goes even further than the assault weapons ban that expired a decade ago. >> weapons designed originally for the military to kill large numbers of people in close combat are replicated for civilian use. columbine, virginia tech, aurora, tucson, oak creek. the common thread in these shootings is each gunman used a semiautomatic assault weapon or large capacity ammunition magazine. we should be outraged by how easy it is for perpetrators of these horrific crimes to obtain powerful military style weapons. >> the proposal bans more than 150 specific firearms, including semiautomatic weapons and magazines holding more than ten rounds. despite the aggressive approach, some democrats argue that an assault weapons ban could be a heavy lift for congress. yesterday vice president joe biden said he's more than concerned about high capacity magazines. >> i'm much less concerned quite frankly about an assault weapon than i am about magazines and the number of rounds that can be held in a magazine.

now, today senator dianne feinstein introduced her assault weapons ban of 2013. she had been responsible for one back in the 1990s, and that is probably a step where joe manchin is not yet ready to go. is there a place where democrats can get together around something that relates to dealing with the gun violence issue, and also these other political considerations? joe manchin is one of the most sought after people on this topic because as a democrat, his point of view is important, and he can carry some weight among those especially in cob stitch wents and perhaps even in other states having an impact if someone as authentic when it comes to guns has some view on background checks or things like that. andrea, if i could just add the sort of john kerry moment, he is one foot in both places. i've been on the elevator with him a few times in the last couple of days. he talks about being so anxious to get going, and he already has a diplomatic security detail with him. he is a man of the senate or the of the department that he may be confirmed to. middle ground 234

we saw that yesterday with senator dianne feinstein's press conference. she had victims of gun tragedies on the hits and reporters tearing up. that's kind of unusual and i think that even with that kind of emotion an assault weapons ban is very tough. we saw joe biden moderate that by saying i care about how many bullets are in a clip than a certain kind of gun. i think house republicans are trying to figure out where can they go on this? waiting for the senate as we talked about on this show before they are forced in to it. i think we get background checks and limited ammunition clips. >> thank you very much. elizabeth, hagel confirmed? >> looks like the white house expecting that 60 votes at least. >> thank you very much. jonathan, as always, thank you. >> thank you. >>> up next, prince harry but from afghanistan but not without some controversy. of carousel one. ...of carousel one. there's carousel two! all right!
